I am a small factory doctor re-walking my life.

The next day, at six o'clock in the morning on September 6th, Li Tang was sleeping in bed without even opening his eyes. He reached out and touched his side. After not touching anything, he opened his eyes and turned to look at the bedside table. Watch, he closed his eyes and lay there for a while, then lifted up the quilt, put on his pajamas and walked out of the bedroom.

When he came out, the door of Xiao Sanyue's bedroom opposite was also open. There was no one in the room, and the quilt on the bed was spread flatly there.

In the past, he was the first to get up every morning in this family, but this has changed in the past two years.

After the briquettes arrived first, Xiao Sanyue was thinking about taking the dog out to solve hygiene problems every morning and walking it in the yard again, so he forced himself to get up early.

A year ago, Song Xiaohui started asking him to teach Tai Chi, and later she got a yoga CD from someone unknown.

Now, she gets up before six o'clock every day. In the practice room specially arranged for her on the first floor, she first does Tai Chi for half an hour, and then practices yoga for a while.

Not to mention, the effect is surprisingly good. After a year of training, his figure is getting better and better, and he has also unlocked a lot of difficult moves. He can easily do anything like lowering the waist and doing a straight horse. In the end, it is Li Tang who enjoys the blessing.

The only bad thing for him may be that his wife is becoming more and more powerful in combat. As she grows older, he can no longer handle her as easily as before.

Sometimes he also worries, what if this happens in a few more years?

I cleaned up my personal hygiene in the bathroom on the second floor and went down to the first floor. As soon as I walked into the living room, I could hear the soothing music coming from the practice room. I opened the door and took off my slippers at the door. The feet walked in.

Exercise without delay. For his own happy life, and in order not to be complained about by his wife in front of others like her colleagues, he must keep himself strong.

The two of them did not disturb the other, and exercised separately until seven o'clock when the canteen staff would arrive early.

This morning it was shrimp buns and polenta.

Xiao Sanyue had not come back from walking the dog, and neither of them looked for it. At this point, he still hadn't come back, so this little guy might have messed up the food at someone else's house in the yard.

In this compound, if anyone wants to say who is the most popular, it is definitely Xiao Sanyue. There is no one else. This little guy is simply a big bastard.

When he first moved here, he often went to his grandma's house to eat, which was normal. Later, he became familiar with the place and would go to anyone's house for dinner.

There's no way, everyone doesn't like the little guy's sweet mouth.

Li Tang and Song Xiaohui are also used to it. As long as their son hasn't come back yet at meal time, there is no need to look for him. They just start eating. The boy will definitely not be hungry. Maybe he will eat better than them.

Sure enough, at 7:20, Xiao Sanyue came back with her round belly and briquettes in her arms.

When I asked if everything was okay, I was called home by Li Yukun's wife who lived in No. 3 for dinner.

I didn't eat the breakfast made on the stove today. I sent someone out to buy beef buns with cured sauce and spicy meatball soup.

The boy ate half a steamed bun and drank a bowl of spicy soup before he came back.

When I came back, I sat down on the sofa and groaned. I was really eating someone else's food.

This morning, Song Xiaohui picked up the child after he was sent to school. Li Tang had to go to the representative meeting, so he hurried away in the car after dinner.

This started another morning, and I didn't return to the company until after lunch.

As for sending Yao Liangzhong off, he and his successor Li Yukun have not yet completed the complete handover of work, and it will take two days before he can leave.

In seven years, the company has changed a lot. Many old people who were there when the factory was built have been transferred and retired. The company's middle and senior management have already changed a lot.

Now, the average age of Qin Pharmaceutical Group's cadres is only forty-five years old, making it the youngest team among state-owned enterprises at any level in the country.

After getting off the car in the backyard and entering the lobby through the back door, Li Tang arrived at the office on the 16th floor despite being greeted by people all the way.

Chen Dong also walked in closely behind.

This guy has been with Li Tang for twenty years. When he first entered the factory, he was still a young man of 17 or 18 years old. Now he is almost 40 years old. He leads the team of secretaries conscientiously to do what he should do.

He is not meddlesome and talkative, and he never speaks on any matters that are not within the scope of his work. He does not fight for power and does not seek profit. Although he is also in the middle level of the company, he is like an invisible person many times. Young people who have been in the company for two or three years don't even know he has this number.

Only those who are really close to the center of power know that this guy is someone that countless local leaders want to date.

Over the years, Li Tang often asked him to go to the factory for training so that he could be promoted and used. However, Chen Dong always refused with a smile. In his words, that meant leaving the overall work of the secretarial office to others. He was worried.

In fact, a lot of work around Li Tang needs to be kept confidential, especially now that he has become the director of the consultative committee. Although there are secretaries there, and there are even divisions between life secretaries and work secretaries, the usual coordination work between the two parties is basically the same. It was Chen Dong who was doing it.

Are there many things here that others can know casually?

As a descendant of the Chen family, Chen Dong's interests are bound to Li Tang.

The other middle and senior management of Qin Pharmaceutical Group may have their own little calculations in mind, but he definitely puts Li Tang's interests first.

"Why didn't you go back to rest at noon?"

Looking at Chen Dong who came in behind him, Li Tang was a little curious. It wasn't even time to go to work yet.

"I contacted Brother Huzi during lunch, and he said you might come back after dinner, so I didn't leave."

"Is something wrong?"

"Nothing, I just want to see if you have any plans." Chen Dong shook his head and said while pouring water to make tea.

"Okay, come on, just talk about it if you have something to say. Stop hiding it from me. I don't know about you yet."

After working with Chen Dong for twenty years, Li Tang had already become comfortable with him. If he were to be replaced by a secretary director now, he would definitely not be used to it. This is why he has never forced Chen Dong to be sent down for training.

"Hehe..." Chen Dong put the brewed tea cup on the coffee table and scratched his head with a naive smile.

"It's still about Shaowei."

Chen Shaowei, Chen Dong's younger brother, worked in the provincial capital organization department. When he was appointed as a disciplinary-level cadre, it was Li Tang who came forward to find Li Yukun, then provincial director, to solve the problem. He used a butcher's knife to kill the chicken.

Several years have passed, and now he is a deputy director-level cadre.

"What's wrong with Shaowei?"

"He wants... to go and exercise and continue to stay here. Since he has no experience in grassroots work, it is already difficult for him to be promoted."

I have to say that Chen Dong is really good to his younger brother.

"How old is Shaowei this year?"

"He is two years younger than me, already thirty-six."

"You are already thirty-eight."

"Yes, I was eighteen years old when I entered the factory. Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Time flies by so fast." Li Tang nodded with emotion, and then brought the topic back.

"It's a good thing that Shaowei wants to go out and exercise. He still has an advantage in age. It's time to go to the grassroots level to accumulate experience. So what? Has he said whether he wants to go to the districts and counties below the provincial capital, or wherever he goes? Any place is okay?”

"You just have to look at the arrangements. He doesn't choose. It can go anywhere."

"Okay, I see."

"Then you rest, I'll go down first."

"Hey Chen Dong, researcher Chen Weidong from the Provincial Department of Finance will come over at half past two. You can ask someone to pick him up in advance, and then just bring him up."

"I see."

"Well, let's go."

Chen Weidong, Du Juan's husband, is fifty-eight years old this year. He retired from the post of deputy director of the Department of Finance last year and is now a researcher enjoying director-level treatment.

Du Juan also retired directly from the position of vice president of the group more than two years ago. Now she is living a comfortable life at home with her grandson.

Chen Weidong called Pang Hu's mobile phone at noon today and made an appointment to come over in the afternoon.

Li Tang knew why he came here. It was a business matter. The leader of their finance department asked Chen Weidong, who had retired from the second line, to come over just because their relationship made it easier to talk.

It was almost two o'clock now, and he didn't go into the back room to rest. He just sat on the sofa, drinking tea and reading the newspaper. Unexpectedly, before Chen Weidong arrived, Liu Xiaoqiang came first.

Mr. Liu, who is already in his early fifties, is not considered young in the group, but compared with the same level in the local area, he is a proper young cadre.

Twenty years ago, Father Song, who was the deputy commissioner of Qinshan at the time, promoted him from the position of township head to the pharmaceutical factory to assist Li Tang. At that time, Liu Xiaoqiang could not be said to be happy or unhappy. Ke was promoted to deputy director, but the power at hand from local grassroots governments to enterprises has shrunk significantly.

Moreover, the pharmaceutical factory was just starting to stumble at that time. Although the first shot was relatively loud, it had just opened at the time and everyone was crossing the river by feeling the stones. Who knows where it will go in the future.

After twenty years of turmoil, he has reached a height that 90% of cadres cannot reach in their lifetime. Now he looks back at those years and the deputy mayor, director, and deputy mayor who worked with him in the same township. Among the directors and other colleagues, the highest one is only the deputy county magistrate.

What about him? Everyone in the organization has become an alternate member, ranking among the top 400 members of the organization among tens of millions, not to mention the deputy administrative level that they now enjoy.

Looking at Li Tang, Liu Xiaoqiang really felt deeply at this moment.

……

"Did you... just come back from outside?"

Li Tang smiled and picked up a box of rare monkey kings on the coffee table, took out one stick and threw it over, then lit another one for himself.

He, from his last life to the present, he has gone from being a golden monkey without a mouth, to a one with a filter, and now to an eight-dollar treasure, the Monkey King.

"I came over today during the National Day. I was treated to a bowl of steamed buns outside at noon. After eating, we chatted for a while before coming back."

Zhang Guoqing, in 1994, the shares of Qinshan Pharmaceutical changed and the administrative level was upgraded. After the third reorganization, a group company was established, and a group-controlled Guanhetang Co., Ltd. was established to take charge of the Guanhetang Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic that was about to start construction. He As the vice president of the group, he also served as the first general manager.

In 1998, the province transferred generals, and Li Tang recommended Zhang Guoqing, who had excellent work performance.

After an inspection by the provincial government, the 53-year-old Zhang Guoqing was transferred to the leadership of Bao City, completing a magnificent transition from a corporate cadre to a local leader. Now two years later, he is doing a good job.

"He's a dignified prefectural and city leader and he wants to treat you to steamed buns? You should shove the bowl in his face." Li Tang said jokingly.

"Hahaha, he actually wants to invite me to Yue Zhenxuan to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas. The key is that I can't eat it. The stomach of us Guanzhong people is like this. A bowl of steamed buns, or a bowl of fried noodles, and a cold one. Fight, it’s very good.”

"What's the matter, are you looking for me on National Day or about the expansion of Factory No. 7?"

"Yes, not to mention being the third child under the pressure of the provincial capital and Qinshan all year round, Yushi in northern Qin is now discovering an oil and gas field today, and digging out a coal mine tomorrow, watching the output value of this half year disappear. It's strange that their leadership team can sit still.

It is not easy for cities in our northwest to attract investment from the outside. We can only find ways to practice our internal skills in existing enterprises. If we want to achieve quick results, it must be a pharmaceutical factory. If it can be expanded, it will not only improve the industry. It can also increase the output value, increase foreign exchange income, and create more jobs. He can achieve multiple things with one stone, and he can't do it unless he pays attention to it. "

With the deepening of reform, the speed of enterprise optimization, reorganization, and transformation has accelerated, and more and more enterprises that looked good in the 1970s and 1980s are coming to an end.

The decline of these old-line enterprises will bring more and more unemployed workers.

Older unemployed workers can choose to buy out their seniority, and the local finance will provide a one-time compensation. But to be honest, the money to buy out their seniority is really not much, ranging from a few thousand yuan to less than 10,000 yuan. Just tell me what you can do with this little money.

These are older workers who are just a few years away from retirement. Younger workers can’t even buy them out because there are too many people and they can’t afford financial compensation.

But companies that have stopped working cannot afford to pay wages, so these people must have food to eat. Local finances must also find ways to provide these people with a minimum living allowance for the transition period.

This requires each locality to find its own solution based on its own financial situation. Therefore, some places pay 180 to workers of bankrupt enterprises, while others pay 200, 220, and a three-year transition period. That is to say, each person can receive this money for a maximum of three years.

Two thousand years have passed. Is this money enough to live on? There is no way, this is the so-called labor pain period.

It's the same across the country. Generally speaking, the performance of southern and coastal cities is better because of the developed private and individual economies, while the central and northern cities are suffering the most.

Since the mid-to-late 1980s, Li Tang has been saying to provincial leaders that state-owned enterprises must change their thinking. They cannot wait, rely, or demand. They must actively go out and rely on their own efforts to transform. Is it effective? there must be.

Many companies that died in the 1990s in the previous life are still alive today, and some are doing really well, but most of them still fall on the road.

He was not an industrialist in his last life, and he only read a lot of things from newspapers and the Internet later.

Many people will say that if you really want to do something, especially in industry, it cannot be done with a slap on the butt.

Sometimes the cost of state-owned enterprises is higher than that of private enterprises. This is not a reason for waste, but because state-owned enterprises have their responsibilities.

Just like Qin Yao, the entire group now has more than 20,000 cadres and employees. Among them, there are actually not many cadres. The entire group headquarters only has a total of more than 400 people. Compared with many other large enterprises, Administrative work is nothing like this.

If Qin Yao wants to further control costs, it is very simple. It can be done by installing an automated assembly line. It does not need to be the most advanced one, just an ordinary one. In that case, at least one-third of the front-line workers can be laid off, and the entire group can save nearly Billions of dollars in labor costs.

The question is, what happens to those workers who are laid off? After pushing them into society, can society provide so many jobs so that they can have a living?

Therefore, in recent years, many people have spoken loudly and passionately in newspapers and the media, pointing fingers at Qin Yao, saying that this should be done to save costs, that automated assembly lines should be purchased to save costs, and that Qin Yao’s leadership does not know how to do it at all. Know how to run a business and waste the country's money.

These people say that they are still doing what Qin Yao has been doing all these years, and leaders at the provincial and higher levels, no matter what level, will not say anything.

Automated assembly lines are easy to purchase, and who doesn’t understand cost control? But what will they do with the thousands of employees who will be laid off? They represent thousands of families, involving tens of thousands of people. How will these people live after they are laid off?

In fact, it is a real loss that there is no investment in R&D expenses. If foreign pharmaceutical companies invest tens of billions of dollars in R&D expenses every year, they may not be able to produce anything useful. If Qin Yao can compete with them, Same, haha, I'm afraid it would have gone bankrupt a long time ago.

This is why the superiors have been giving special treatment to Li Tang. Anyone who is qualified to know the inside story knows that the 16% of the shares may seem like a lot, but it is not enough to reflect his importance, because originally he could get it of more.

Therefore, the treatment he enjoys and his administrative level are mentioned again and again in order to compensate him.

……

The topic went far away. Liu Xiaoqiang's words made Li Tang silent for a while. After taking two puffs of cigarette, he asked: "What did you think about it?"

“Based on the current production capacity and orders of various factories, it is time to further expand production capacity through expansion.

But there is still a problem ahead, that is, our pharmaceutical factories were built relatively early, and almost all of them were on the fringes of cities.

However, with the acceleration of urbanization in the past two years and the increasingly stringent requirements for environmental protection, according to local plans, except for the No. 7 factory in Yanshi and the No. 9 factory in Kangshi, the other eight factories are involved. to the relocation issue.

So now should we rebuild and relocate factories together according to local plans, or should we do it in batches? If we do it in batches, do the factories at the back need to be expanded now? "

After listening, Li Tang let out a breath.

Not to mention how much money it will cost to rebuild and relocate the factory, and all the internal and external work here, it will take two or three years.

It's not that he didn't consider the future urban development issues when he built the factory area before, but the factories at that time were all old factories that were acquired and were already there. He couldn't move them first after taking over and then move back to the old ones. Apart from other things, the distance is far away, and the life of the factory workers is not convenient.

Now it is imperative to relocate factories. Take Qinshan as an example. The first and second factories are now almost in the center of Qinshan city. How can this be done?

"Have you discussed this issue at the general manager's office meeting?"

"We haven't held a specific meeting yet, but I have talked with them privately, including the directors of several factories. It should be said that everyone has a unified opinion, that is, to deploy and start new construction together, in one step.

The new construction will not affect the current operation of the factory, and the progress of the project will definitely be faster or slower. In this way, the move will also have a priority. The production will definitely be affected during the move, but it will not be too big.

There is another question. Qinshan City now has a total of one, two, three and five factories. Among them, the first and second factories are the largest. This new construction and relocation. According to the plan, the third and fifth factories will also be expanded. The goal after the expansion must be achieved. To double production capacity, if fully automated production lines are not considered, each factory will inevitably have to recruit one or two thousand more workers.

It doesn't matter. The main thing is that the current leaders of Qinnan's Han City, Shang City, and Copper City all want us to move there or set up a factory there, saying that as a provincial enterprise, we can't favor one over the other. "

Qinshan City owns four factories of Qin Yao. Although the third and fifth factories are the smallest, mosquitoes still have meat no matter how small they are. The annual output value is there, let alone those cities that do not have pharmaceutical factories. Even the provincial capital is jealous of it.

I don't know how many times I raised my opinion, and Qin Yao's leaders, including Li Tang, were also in trouble.

Qin Yao started its business in the Qinshan area. At that time, the local government provided a lot of help. Now that the strong forces want to move this place and that one, it is a bit too much to burn bridges.

In the early 1990s, Qin Pharmaceutical's headquarters moved to the provincial capital, which was a blow to Qinshan's economic development. At that time, it could be said that it was for the better development of the company. What about now? What are you going to say if you want to move the factory?
Don't talk about focusing on the overall situation of the province. When reporting at the end of the year, your leaders will never praise you because the data is not good.

Li Tang sat there smoking a cigarette, frowning and thinking for a long time, and then said: "Okay, Lao Liu, you can meet with the leaders of Qinshan later and talk about it. The three and five factories will be merged into one factory, and the staff of the other factory will be merged." It's up to you to decide which city or city we will move to Qinnan. This is the final result. If anyone is still dissatisfied, let him come to me."

"Huh..." Liu Xiaoqiang let out a long breath.

With the chairman speaking, he no longer has to worry about anyone putting pressure on him.

"Haha, it seems that Director Baozhen's heart is bleeding again this time."

Chen Baozhen is now the director of Qinshan City, but at her age, this will be her last term. When the term changes in two years, she will probably retreat to the Representative Council or the Consultative Council to enjoy a higher level of treatment and continue to shine. He will officially retire next year.
